Brandon Guyer is starting in right field and batting seventh for the Indians on Sunday in Game 5 of the World Series.

The Indians also have Carlos Santana back in left field and Mike Napoli at first base after Santana played first in Game 4. Rajai Davis is again leading off and in left field, while Lonnie Chisenhall is on the bench for the first time in the series. The Tribe's full lineup is as follows: Davis CF, Jason Kipnis 2B, Francisco Lindor SS, Napoli 1B, Santana LF, Jose Ramirez 3B, Guyer RF, Roberto Perez C, Trevor Bauer P. Oct 30 - 3:47 PM

Brandon Guyer went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored as the Indians trampled the Red Sox in Game 2 of the ALDS in Cleveland on Friday.

Guyer got the scoring started with a run-scoring single in the second inning, then came around to score on the three-run homer by teammate Lonnie Chisenhall. He also singled and scored the club's final run on Rajai Davis' sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. He's a platoon player who will see most of his action against left-handed pitching, but Guyer certainly delivered when called upon in a big spot on Friday. Oct 7 - 8:01 PM

Indians acquired OF Brandon Guyer from the Rays for OF Nathan Lukes and RHP Jhonleider Salinas.

Guyer owns a .283/.384/.464 batting line in 472 career plate appearances against left-handed pitching, as well as experience at all three outfield positions. He's a solid addition for the first-place Indians. Guyer will be arbitration-eligible for the second time this winter. Aug 1 - 2:55 PM

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that the Rays are trading outfielder Brandon Guyer.

No word yet on where he's headed, but Guyer could be a useful piece for most contenders. The 30-year-old owns an .848 OPS against lefties in his career and is capable of playing all three outfield spots. Aug 1 - 2:45 PM

Michael Brantley (shoulder) is slated to resume swinging a bat in late December.

Brantley had a lost 2016 season following a pair of shoulder surgeries, but the hope is that he's ready for the beginning of spring training. Still, he has to be considered a major question mark heading into 2017.

Cody Anderson underwent an arthroscopic debridement of his right elbow on Wednesday.

Anderson is expected to begin throwing in eight weeks and should be fine for the start of spring training next February, though he'll face an uphill battle for an Opening Day roster spot after registering a rough 6.68 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 60 2/3 innings (nine starts, 10 relief appearances) for the Indians in 2016. Maybe the elbow was to blame.
